Karou walked to his grandfather's office, his grandfather was once again mired in documents, when he saw Karou he was thrilled, dropped everything on the floor and gave him a hug, Karou was happy to feel his affection.
Soon the hug was tight, until it was difficult to breathe.
- Damn kid! You almost lose your life. - Said Falcon angrily. - If you knew you would lose, why did you continue?
- Grandfather, please release me, you are suffocating me! - Said Karou with a red face.
- Ah ... I'm sorry, I was too emotional. - Said Falcon releasing Karou.
Karou tried to make excuses, even though he suffered a Falcon sermon.
- You were lucky, if she did not comply with the agreement you would now be a slave! - Falcon spoke, his anger turned to sadness. - All my children left with the elders, you are my only relative. My only one!
- Sorry, I promise to think more about my actions next time. - Karou sincerely apologized, he admitted that he rushed into the challenge, he didn't even have the strength at the time, but instinctively moved on.
- Changing the subject, you look much better. If it had been me taking that beating I would have stayed at least 1 month in bed ...
- HaHa, I have the thick skin. How are the business? - Asked Karou.
- Well ... - Falcon made a bitter and tired face. - They are complicated, they are orders, thefts, lack of employees, lack of blacksmiths ... among other problems.
- I see ... leave everything to me. Jutsu multi shadow clones.
At the end of his sentence, dozens of Karou appeared. Take care of everything, let's go to work, Karou himself sat down and took some papers. It was difficult work, but it was necessary.
- Grandfather, go to rest and train ... it is necessary ... - Karou would take care of everything.
After his fight Karou discovered a lot about his own strength, all his jutsu were superior techniques at the highest level, his Chakra amount was very good, his control even better, even his destructive power, what defined the rankings, not being so tall, he was already stronger than most people in the green leaf city.
He was already more powerful than Falcon himself ...
- I will train ... - Falcon said that, he knew that Karou had passed him.
- I will send a Clone to support you, when your base becomes stable you will easily overcome me.
Karou told the truth, the power of the Water Dragon jutsu could even reach the power to kill a Captain, being just a Great fighter was an immense shame to say the least.
Karou sent clones to train Falcon, to take care of the paperwork, to work in the mines, to work assisting the Clan blacksmiths, as he was not a heavy worker, he handled some of the paperwork himself.
Soon a rumor arose in the vicinity of the Clan, a strange young man from the Blue Jade Clan, who had the strange ability to be in dozens of places at the same time.
In front of the Fire Art smithy one of Karou's Clones was entering.
Karou became aware of this great blacksmithing thanks to being one of the largest buyers of Niobium in the city, Karou wanted to make a commercial agreement, perhaps a possible recruitment.
As soon as Karou entered the forge he felt the heat rising, there were weapons on all sides of the store, some even made of special materials more powerful than Niobium, but of course you could not find these metals so easily when it was possible to find Niobium.
- Hello young master, looking for a special weapon? We have new weapons with the best magic metal in town, have you heard of magic metal? He is able to cut even beasts of a higher level than the bearer, have you ever thought of becoming a Great Apprentice ahead of schedule?
The selling was very talkative, but Karou understood that he was just selling his bread.
- I would like to speak to the owner of the forge.
- Sorry, but it is not possible, even for the Young masters of the biggest Clans to request an audience with the Master of the forge.
The moment Karou asked the man to completely change his way of speaking, before he was flattering, now he was just cold, he seems used to dealing with arrogant young masters.
The seller saw this every day, young people wanting to talk and harass the master, they senore want to have the best weapons and because they are from large Clans they think they will receive something for free.
The salesman has already been instructed and to deal with it, it was only to kick the young master's ass, in case something happened the forge master himself would handle everything.
- I see ... - Karou knew he would get nothing from this man, so he made a plan, thankfully that this clone had the original Niobium sword with him. - Give me your best magic metal sword.
- Oh, sure ... wait there. - The man became a flirt again, he was happy that he didn't have to deal with it. - Here it is..
The man brought the sword, the clone then quickly activated his Sharingan to analyze it.
"There isn't even a thousandth here, they are diluting even more, I think I will have to sell even more ..."
Karou didn't think the man was lying, he really thought the sword was one of the best in the store, even this sword had a performance far superior to the normal ones.
- Can I test it a little?
- Sure, feel free.
Karou then drew his Niobius sword, he placed it between two benches and as he did with the hammer he tried to cut it with the sword.
The salesman despaired, he believed that the young master's sword would be cut, but in the end the result surprised him. Intact ... the sword on the chairs was intact, while the one in Karou's hand broke into pieces.
- As I said ... can I speak to the Master of the forge?
The man didn't even think twice and called the forge leader. Karou then began his private conversation with the forge master. Karou used his language to the fullest, until he reached an agreement with the clan master.
The blacksmiths would work for Karou for 1 month of experience, in exchange Karou would have to teach his son the magic arts, the serious blacksmith would be the only producer of weapons and if everything worked well, they would join the Karou clan.
The master of the forge already planned this, so that his son could become a Great wizard, he needed resources, teachers and other things, all this could only be acquired in a Clan, he was more than happy to be able to join a large Clan , which could produce a metal like that.
What he didn't know was that the Clan was the old bankrupt, blue jade. Karou's clone then went on to deal with other issues, those issues would be in the city's slums ...
